It’s based on the simple notion that our hardworking brothers and sisters who labor for the minimum wage deserve to earn enough to … live.

Not get rich. Not ask for a hand-out.

Work. Live.

The bigwigs in Arizona business and politics don’t want that to happen. They’re challenging to voter’s will in court and they’re asking the state Supreme Court to prevent the new law from going into effect.

It's disgusting for workers - and you

And not long ago, thanks to the Legislature, Ducey got to add two unnecessary seats to the Supreme Court, stacking it with his hand-picked boys whom I’d guess he’s hoping will show the proper disdain for working stiffs.

It’s disgusting.

It’s not just an insult to people trying to earn a living. It’s an insult to you. The people you elected are saying your vote doesn’t matter.

Their argument is that an increased minimum wage is going to have some dire effect on the government and the state's economy.

Funny how you never hear any of these people complaining about the exorbitant compensation packages paid to the people at the top. I’d guess that if a few of those CEOs shaved just a little off their fat salaries it would more than offset the increase in the minimum wages of those at the bottom.

The politicians, however, rely on fat cats to fund campaigns.

So they go after people at the bottom, showing maximum disdain for those who earn the minimum wage.
